The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is holding negotiations with legendary West Indian batsman Sir Vivian Richards to appoint him as mentor of the national team for the forthcoming Asia Cup and ICC World T20 in Bangladesh and India. A highly placed source in the Board confirmed to PTI that talks were being held with Richards as the PCB was keen to have him on board as mentor for the two premier T20 events. "Yes the board is very impressed with the way Richards has worked as mentor with the Quetta Gladiators team in the Pakistan Super League and also want him to mentor the Pakistan squad in the Asia Cup and World T20," the source said. He said one obstacle in the appointment of Richards as mentor was that he had some media commitments in the ICC World T20. "They are trying to find a solution because the Board is keen Richards should mentor the Pakistan team but he has not agreed to anything as yet," the source said. Richards himself this week expressed interest in any assignment with Pakistan cricket.

West Indian batting great Vivian Richards says he is pained to see international cricket teams not touring Pakistan since the last seven years. Richards is working as mentor of the Quetta Gladiators team in the Pakistan Super League, which kicked off amid much fanfare in Dubai on Thursday. "It is painful to see no international cricket being played in Pakistan since 2009. I have been to Pakistan several times and always found it to be a country of passionate cricket fans and lovers," Richards told the media in Dubai. "It is unfortunate that security circumstances are keeping teams away from Pakistan because it is a leading cricket nation and destination," he said. He said it was nothing less than a tragedy that the security situation had left the Pakistan cricket board in a position where it can't force any team to play in Pakistan.
